Rockville HS – Computer Science (CODE.ORG) POS* Course Code 2922/2923 2924/2925 Grade Level Descriptions Foundations of Computer Science A/B 9‐12 Based on Code.org’ Exploring Computer Science curriculum which is a national program committed to democratizing computer science knowledge by increasing learning opportunities at the high school level for all students, with a specific focus on access for traditionally underrepresented students. Course includes units on human computer interaction, web design, introduction to programming, computing and data analysis, and robotics. Includes culturally relevant lessons designed to be inclusive and based on an inquiry‐based teaching. Recommended for students to have passed or be concurrently enrolled in Algebra 1. AP Computer Science Principles A/B The second course in the Code.org pathway, this course engages all students, while maintaining college‐level rigor. AP® Computer Science Principles is designed to introduce students to the central ideas of computer science, to instill ideas and practices of computational thinking, and to have students engage in activities that show how computing changes the world. The course is rigorous and rich in computational content, includes computational and critical thinking skills, and engages students in the creative aspects of the field. Through both its content and pedagogy, this course aims to appeal to a broad 10‐12 audience. There are 4 core unit of study – digital information, the internet, programming, and data. Each unit concludes with a practice performance task that mimics the assessment style of the tasks students are required to complete on their own for submission to the College Board. Recommended for students to have completed English 9 and to have passed or be concurrently enrolled in Geometry. Students do not need to take Foundations of Computer Science A/B to enroll in this class.
